Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Mitt has a couple fundraisers planned for my neck of the woods in a couple weeks and I am debating whether to buck up and attend the Napa event as a way to network and get my business card in the hands of some wealthy folks. I know it takes money to make money and Mitt's circle is extremely adept at that. What do y'all think, would it be a wise $1,000 investment? I am totally in Mitt's camp in the run for POTUS and have sent a few bucks so far, along with the free advertising here in the Barnyard. Plus since I am considering a run for a local office in the future it would not hurt to meet some GOP operatives here in NoCal. I am thinking this would be a smart move.

Founder"s Quote

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity to bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war, to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"- Samuel Adams

"It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"---Patrick Henry
